When it comes to exporting, having a great product or service is only half the story. Putting the right finance and insurance in place can make the difference, helping you to win contracts, fulfil orders and get paid.

UK Export Finance is the UK government s export credit agency. We support exports for any size company and across all industries, from capital goods to services and intangibles like intellectual property. Our mission is to advance prosperity by ensuring no viable UK export fails for lack of finance or insurance, doing that sustainably and at no net cost to the taxpayer.

Job Purpose:

These accounting standard changes mean a change to processes, policies, systems, and required data, introducing new ways of calculating the cost of risk and how we define our contracts as being profitable or otherwise.
